Simpsons, The Description4-player co-op game where players assume the roles of Homer, Marge, Bart, or Lisa Simpson. Goal: save Maggie and recover the stolen diamond.Cabinet InformationThe side art shows The Simpsons standing on top of each other. Homer is actually stepping on Snowball's tail.On the European cabinet, the graphic shows the five Simpsons in a pink circle with the Simpsons logo. The cabinet is white except for the control panel which is blue with the Simpson character next to his or her control. The game was also released in a two-player cabinet. Cheats, Tricks, Bugs, and Easter EggsIf you want lots of enemies on the screen, change the game settings using the test button on the board, then select very difficult. Get four people to play and there will be loads of baddies! This trick works on most Konami JAMMA+ games such as Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles, X-MEN, Asterix and Bucky O'HareConversionThe machine can run just about any JAMMA+ game. However, the third and fourth player controls in the four-player cabinet must have a compatible PCB to use the exact same wiring. Games like Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles and Bucky O'Hare match this criteria.Game IntroductionEach player character has a different weapon that can be used throughout the game. Bart uses his skateboard, Lisa uses her jumprope, Marge uses her vacuum cleaner and Homer uses his fists and his big fat belly.Game PlayYou move level to level fighting your way through loads of Mr. Burn's hired goons. At the end of each stage you must fight an end-of-level guardian. Each of these are bigger and bulkier than the others.VAPS Arcade CensusThere are 6,993 members of the Video Arcade Preservation Society / Vintage Arcade Preservation Society, 4,022 whom participate in our arcade census project of games owned, wanted, or for sale.
